   	I bought this at Kinokuniya's manga shop in   
   Nihon Machi, San Francisco at the corner of Webster and   
   Geary.   
   	Well I mentioned this book earlier and I got a refund   
   from a UG I belong to and blew $29.95 + tax on this classic book   
   explaining a bit about manga and the mangaka of the times.   
   	Authored by Frederik L. Schodt this edition is   
   in brightly colored hard covers and is published by   
   Stone Bridge Press of Berkeley, California.  Copyright   
   from 1996 and 2011.  New introduction and new essay on   
   on the state of manga and its future replacing the old   
   and out-of-date contact information section in the original   
   edition.  New on the front cover is Collector's Edition.   
   	All the rest is much as it was when I borrowed   
   the book from the San Francisco Public Library in 2003   
   which made it a problem to keep reading.   
      
   	I think if anyone has a serious interest in   
   manga and the people who made it what is today that   
   they could do far worse than a paperback copy of   
   this fine volume.
